Okay, so here’s the thing. Apparently, Samsung’s gearing up to make a massive splash with some big-league investment on U.S. soil. Or at least, that’s what Trump hinted at while he was hashing out trade stuff with South Korea. Go figure.
Samsung: Jumping on the US Investment Train — Maybe Making Gadgets Stateside?
Alright, so the Trump folks have been busy bees, hammering out deals with countries like India, Japan, South Korea. The kicker? These deals are all about coaxing foreign companies to splash their cash in the U.S. Ever since Trump stepped in, we’ve had companies like Apple, TSMC, SoftBank waving their billion-dollar plans in our faces, setting up shop here. Now, Samsung might just be the next player in this game. According to The Korea Herald, Trump’s revving up to ink a deal with them soon. Honestly, it’s not every day we get tidbits like this.
Some presidential gab: Trump’s been saying that Samsung’s mulling over U.S. facilities because, well, tariffs. Yep, tariffs might actually be twisting their arm. Talk about a plot twist. Even though he didn’t name-drop Samsung right away — but then mentioned them because, you know, they’re supposedly dodging tariffs this way. Who knew?
And another thing — seems like the Trump admin’s only rolling out the red carpet for companies pledging mega-bucks in investments. With Samsung supposedly on deck, here’s the juicy part: They’ve got plans. Big ones. Eyeing Austin and Texas for expansion, promising 10,000 jobs… maybe more. They’ve already got something cooking in Taylor, Texas, set to fire up by 2027. Rumor has it they’ll be churning out cutting-edge tech like their spiffy 2nm chips, which companies like NVIDIA are frothing over. Crazy, huh?
Meanwhile, Samsung’s looking to shuffle its production game — thinking appliances and TVs might make the hop to other spots. This whole tariff dance could totally be the driving force. We’re on the edge of our seats for an announcement when Trump pins down his trade stance with South Korea. Could be next week, or… who really knows? But hey, it’s got my attention, for whatever that’s worth.
